A trick-or-treat idea that has worked well for us for a number of years is to put fright stickers on half dollars and hand them out. Many of the kids have never seen a half dollar before, and ask what they are. The kids are always happy, and so are we. No thrown-out fruit or candy littering our lawn, no parents disapproving of what the kids bring home, and best of all, no left over bags of candy growing stale for us to use up and gag on. This will work with quarters, foreign coins, whatever you want to use, but if you want to play Johnny Appleseed and bring back the forgotten half dollar to your neighborhood, you might give this idea a try. Have fun.
